# Transforming Robotic Vacuuming Systems The xLean TR1 Switches Between Modes at CES 2026 By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2026-01-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xlean-tr1 References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/xlean-tr1-cleaning-robot-at-ces/354637/) & [xlean.ai](https://xlean.ai/)  The xLean TR1 robot vacuum system made its debut at CES 2026 as a new kind of cleaning solution that incorporates the benefits of robot vacuums and manually operated vacuums alike. The system is equipped with the Dual-Motor DirectSuction mechanism to achieve residue-free cleaning when clearing up wet messes and can perform the cleanup autonomously. The unit can also be paired with a handle in the top to perform [manual cleaning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-cleaner) when a little more control or precision is desired. The xLean TR1 robot vacuum system incorporates Cleaning Area Learning (CAL) technology to handle everyday maintenance and has [smart navigation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreame-technology) thanks to LiDAR. The square robot can fit into all areas of the home and is rated to clear 1,615-square-feet of living space in three-minutes.
